COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge-Ordinary.) O'KANE V. O'KANE AND PALMERSTON. Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., in this case said he had to move the court on the part of the respondent to call upon the petitioner to show cause why he should not proceed with the case to trial, or, failing to do that, that the peti tion should be taken Lff the file of the court. The peti- tion, which contained but one vague plea of adultery, was filed on the 19th of October, 1863; citation was served the 21st of October ; answers were filed on the 28th of the same month ; and on the 17th of November an order was made for further particulars to be supplied to the co-respondent. The Judge Ordinary said it must be clearly understood .hat he did not think the interests of the respondent or co-respondent were identified or identical. Mr. D. Seymour said he appeared solely for the re spondent, and it was especially desirable, as far as she was concerned, that the petitioner should bo compelled, by en order of that Court, to proceed with the case, or that it should be withdrawn. Ho trusted his lord ship would direct such a course to be pursued, as, since the order of the court ior forwarding further parti culars, no step had been taken in the matter. Of course the respondent did not, and could not, complain of the non• com pliance of the petitioner with the order of the court; but what she desired was that the case should either be proceeded with or abandoned. The learned counsel having read an extract from a solemn declaration of Mr. Horsley, a solicitor, and officer of the court, which stated that the petition was pre sented for purposes of extortion, and that the petitioner had no case at all, concluded by asking the Court to grant his application. The Judge Ordinary said the Courts of Law were open to all suitors, and it was for the benefit of all that as little delay as possible should be sanctioned in proceeding with matters brought before them. In no court was it more desirable than in the Divorce Court, before which num bers of persons might be dragged and charges kept hanging over them witacut the least reason. The respon dent had nothing to do with the refusal of the petitioner to obey the order of the Court made on the 17th Nov. If the particulars were not furnished, it was but fair to suppose that none existed that did not affect her; but what she had a right to complain of was, that a vague charge should be kept pending for an indefinite period of time in that Court; In cases of a similar nature to that now before it, the practice of the Court was to grant a rule calling upon a petitioner to attend the next court day, and show cause why he did not go forward with his ease ; or, fail ing in that, the petition was dismissed. That was the order he should make in the present case. UNIVERSITY OF LONDON, 1864, MATRICULATION.-JANUARY.

MARLBOROUGH-STILE%T• ANNOYING A GENTLEMXN.—Kate Chrchill, a smartly dressed young woman, "an unfortunate,' was charged be fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with annoying Captea Godbold, of 7, Albemarle-street, Captain Godbold said that as he was waking along Pic cadilly last night about 10 o'clock the prioner came up to him and importuned him, and would not leave him. To get away from her he .walked amongst he cabs, but she still followed him. She then seized his crltt tails, and tore his coat open trying to get his pocket lindkerchief from his breast pocket. A crowd of persons the/ gathered round them, and the prisoner then struck at :dm several times trying to knock his hat off. Acting upon tie advice of some of the bystanders he told the prisoner ho would give her in charge, when she made off but was ovataken, and taken into custody. Prisoner said she was very sorry and had no recollection of the cccurrence. Francis Aliwood, IEG C, who took theprisoner into cus tody, said she had been drinking, but kaew what she was about. Captain Godbold said the prisoner's conduct was very bad. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was the duty of the magistrate to put an end to this harassing of men in the streeto. Ho should commit the prisoner for a monthwith hard labour. A PICRPOCKET AT THE PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—EIIen Powell, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to pick pockets of sevral ladies at the Princess's Theatre on the previous aftertoon. _ Edwin Ceathupe, of the Detective Department, Scotland - yard, was at the Princess's Theatre yesterday afternoon when the audience were leaving, after the day performance of the pantomime, when he saw the prisoner at the foot of the stairs leading to the boxes, moving about among the ladies leaving the theatre. He watched the prisoner for some time and saw her try several ladies' pockets, and then put her hand in her own. On asking her what she had in her pockets she sail, " She did not kaow, and on her withdrawing her hand, Coarhupe inserted his and found two purses there, each containing money, and the following addresses :—" 26, Harley street, Bow-road, ;" " Mrs, T. Baker, Walmer-place, Brompton ;" " Mrs. Wood, 49, Frederick-street, Caledonian-road ;" and a card with the name of Mrs. J. Mitchell on it. Sergeant Cole, E Division, corroborated Coathupe, and said the prisoner told him that she was a prostitute, and went to the theatre with a gentleman, who must have put the purses into her pocket. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week. WESTMINSTER. A DARING FELIALE PICKPOCKET. — EIiziboth Scott, a woman about 30 years of age, attired in a handsome velvet mantle and bonnet, was placed at the bar charged with attempting to pick a pocket, and also with other gross bale conduct. Mrs. Emma Crossby, the wife of a grocer, living at 9, Child-street, Earl's-court, Brampton, said that at a little after four yesterday afternoon, she was in the Cromwell road with her sister, a girl 11 or 12 years of age, when the prisoner, accompanied by a gentleman, came up and accosted her. They asked her if she would be good enough to direct them to the Paddington railway station. As it was a long distance off and she was not wall acquainted with the neigh bourhood, she told the prisoner and her companion that she could not well direct thew, but they must go to Hyde-- park-corner. At the moment she said this she felt a pressure against her person. She then found that the pri soner was close by her side with her hand in her (prosecu trix's) pocket, and she immediately endeavoured to secure her. She seized the prisoner by the wrist, and after pul ing the hand out of her pocket so heldsher. The prisoner endeavoured to free herself, and failing at the moment, struck her a violent blow on the cheek with the other hand, and extricating herself ran away. Mr. Arnold—What became of the person you have de scribed as a gentleman ? . Prosecutt ix—He ran c•ff just when he found I had caught her hand is my pocket, and she ran after him. I followed into Thurloe-street, and when she came into another street and found I was close upon her, she stooped to a heap of gravel, and taking a hanuful, turned round to throw it into my face. When she had struck me on the former occa sion, it had been with such violence that it had knocked me from the pavement into the road, and when she took up the gravel I ran to the other side of the way to pre• vent her doing me any further violence. I had sent for a constable at the South Kensington Museum, and I had scarcely crossed when he came up and took the prisoner into custody, Mr. Arnold—Did she get anything out of your pocket? Prosecutrix—She did not, I hiid something very heavy in my pocket which pressed it down, and therefore she could not get to the bottom of it. Prosecutrix's sister was called, and corroborated her ac count. Prisoner gave her a heavy blow when she found herself detected. Thomas Symes, IEI B, said that he was sent for, and took the prisoner, She pretended the most perfect ignorance of the prosecutrix and the whole transaction. Prisoner was remanded till Thursday. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTAELE.— Thomas Gillham, a tall and powerful young man, a costar monger, was brought before Mr. Knox, charged with as saulting and wounding Thomas Cox, a police-constable, No. 18 K. Last night the landlady of the Salisbury Arms, public house in Eastfield-street, Limehouse fields, called upon Cox and Police-sergeant Briden, No. 4 K, to remove the pri soner, who was intoxicated and making a disturbance. The officers had some trouble in getting him out, and when he was removed into the street he made use of very foul lan guage and threats. He was allowed to go at large, and the officers were walking away when the prisoner returned with a brick in his hand, and flung it full into the constable's face. Cox reeiod from the effeect of the blow, and fell. He was severely wounded, and lost a good deal of blood, It was shown that the prisoner had been convicted by Mr, Selfe, at this court, for throwing stones at a police-constable named Venables, No. 141 K. Mr. James Horton, surgeon, of High-street, Stepney, said the constable's face was much swollen. There was a contusion on his lip, and his nose was much injured. Mr. Knox said he should adopt the course he generally followed at his own court in cases of this description. He could not summarily punish the prisoner in an adequate manner for the serious offence he had committed. He should send the case before a jury for trial. ROBBERIES BY BASKET - WOMEN.—CAUTION TO CAP TAINS, NA.TES, AND : EAMEN.--Honora Lynch, an Irish woman, aged 22, who carried an infant in her arms, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing a purs containing £l7 in gold from the person of Captain George Love, master of a smack called the Rifleman, lying in the West India Dock. Mr. Stoddart defeaded the prisoner, a well-dressed youn g woman. The prosecutor stated that on Saturday last he was pass beg over Tower-hill and was invited by the prisoner, who some of her. He selected a few from her basket and paid for them. She then asked him was selling oranges, to buy if he would treat her with something to drink. He consented toPublic-house and were joined by doanother so , an w d o they man . wentA After tteor they had partaken of some drink prisoner put her arms round his neck, and asked him to go upstairs. There was no chance to do so in that house, and they proceeded to another public-house, the White Hart, i n P e nnington-street, Ratcliff-highw a y, drink. He could not say how much he had. Ho y _ , where they had drank some rum and several bottles of lemonade. He changed a £lll note in the house. He went upstairs with the pri soner.uinnder his pillow. He fell asleep, g with her some time. He went t bed bed, i a i n e d put rememberedhi bee s purs but how long he slept he could not tell. He was aroused by the landlady of the house , who said that a man had ran through the lower part of the house after he went upstairs. His purse and money were gone. He did not see the pri soner when the landlady woke him. There was at least £l7 in gold in the purse, if not £l9 or £2O. He gave a de scription of the prisoner. He saw her this morning at the station-house in Leman-street, Whi ap Kea el. He recog nised her directly. In cross-examination by Mr. Stoddart, the prosecutor said there were two soldiers in the publichouse. He knew one to be a Freemason by the signs he made and shaking hands. He had no fight with soldiers, He did not recol lect the police coming up and parting him and a soldier while fighting. He received the money in his possession,of Weston and Co., St. Andrew's Wharf, Blackfriars. He did not recollect one of the soldiers remarking, "I am a brother mason, and you shall not keep cempany with that woman." Francis Kelly, a police-constable, 130 H, said he knew the prisoner well. She was a basketwoman, and her hus band was a labourer. He met the prisoner yesterday in Rosemary-lane, aluts Royal Mint-street, and took her into custody. She belonged to a gang of basketwomen, who, under pretence of selling oranges and fruit, on Tower-hill, Ratcliff-highway, and houses of public entertainment, in veigled sailors into places and robbed them. The basket women in the district were a great pest, They had robbed a great many captains, mates, and seamen, and were much worse than the ordinary women of the town. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, who appeared for the pro secution, asked for a remand. Mr. Partridge acceded to the request. Ho remanded the prisoner for a week. respectable farmer, TH REATEN ING TO 111IJRDER.—Yesterday a young I wa s charged before the Cambridge rtian named Charles Tr a y len, a g ed 24, th e son of a ma gistrates with threatening the life of Harriet Leeds, his cousin. The case was one of " unrequited love," and it appeared that Traylen had been following the young lady about, threatening to shoot her if she did not receive his addresses. The prisoner seemed to be a very foolish, but at the same time rather a dangerous young man, and the magistrate ordered him to find two peace sureties in £2OO each, and himself in £4OO. Several of defendant's friends present were well able to furnish the required sureties, but declined doing so at the time, in consequence of the mental state of Traylen. He was therefore removed to the county gaol. SPOR ZING' INTELLIGENCE . TATTERSALL'S, MONDAY. A determination to remain quiet by the bookmakers upon the Chester Cup, until after the acceptance, has had the effect of materially affecting the returns from the Corner. Notwithstanding a more than average attendance this afternoon, among whom were the principal bookmakers, speculation " dragged its slow length along ;" but left but little in its trail to record, if the importance of the wagering be taken into consideration, although the list of names given below would lead to the belief that some heavy transactions had taken place. _ _ . The Two THOUSAND, first in priority, was the first event touched upon. The two favourites were supported for small amounts at sto 1, but we fancy if the I,yers had exhibited more liberality they would have been backed for money. Cembuscan was asked after, but his price, 6to 1, was not clasidered his market mice. The CHESTER Cur, was all but a dead letter, notwith standing many of the best judges naming several animals, as being wonder:ully well in ; but siill there appears a great disinclination upon the part of the layers and backers to meddle with the handicaps until something more tangible than exhibits itself at pres2nt is made manifest. Oar re turn will therefore be accepted merely as the " waifs and strays" of individual fancies than the effect of any demon stration made in favour of any particular stable. THE DERBY.—The transactions hereon were noticeable solely for the anxiety to get on Coast Guard, as litttlo as 16 to 1 being repeatedly taken in hundreds, but towards the close the furore somewhat cooled, and at the close of the room 100 to 6 was repeatedly offered, Historian also was backed at 22 to 1 to win some hundreds. Of the others whose names will be found given in our return of the closing prices the majority were only supported for small amounts. TWO THOUSAND. sto 1 agst Fille do l'Air (taken) sto 1 agst Paris (taken and offered) 6to 1 agst Cambuscan (offered) 10 to 1 agst any other (offered) CHESTER CUP. 25 to 1 agst Blackdown 25 to 1 agst Anfield 30 to 1 agst Carisbook 33 to 1 agst Tippler 33 to 1 agst Mail Train 4U to 1 agst Canary 40 to 1 aget Lord Zetland 40 to 1 agst Marigold 50 to 1 agst Tattoo 50 to 1 agst Greenland 50 to 1 agst Gardner THE DERBY. 11 to 1 agst Scottish Chief (offered) 13 to 1 agst Paris (offered) 100 to 6 agst Coast Guard (taken freely) 18 to 1 agst Forager (taken) 1000 to 45 agst Historian (taken) 33 to 1 aget Idler (taken) 40 to 1 aget Appenine (taken and offered) 50 to 1 agst Horse Marine (taken), 1000 to 10 agst The Count (taken) 1000 to 10 agst Baldernock (taken) 1000 to 10 agst War Dance (taken) HORSE RACING IN EGYPT.—The Cairo races es tablished by the present Viceroy were run for the first time on the fifth on the desert near the Abbassiels, dis tant about three miles from the city. The course was an oval of two miles in length by half a mile in width; the ground was hard and mixed with pebbles, and was broken by transverse ruts formed by the rain—on the whole, toler able ground, and not too deep. The first race !vas for Arab horses, three miles, for £5OO and £lOO to the second; it was won by Hamdany, belonging to Mr. Smart, after a close contest with Dukhy, owned by Halim Pasha. The second race, for horses of all nations catch weights, was five miles for £3OO, and £lOO to the second. Four English horses ran, but were beaten without a struggle by an Arab horse of the Obeyan breed, who, however, lost the race by his rider dismounting at the third mile, which permitted a chesnut mare of Ali Pasha's to come in first, the Obeyan recovering the second place. The English horses greatly discredited themselves, and it is a pity that Companion, who has hitherto won all his races, did not run, as he would almost certainly have maintained our precedence. The third race was for £lOO, two miles, and was gained by Ali Pasha after a close race with a grey mare belonging to M. Guichard, but not well ridden. Altogether it was a great success. A kiosk was erected for the Viceroy, and a grand stand for the Europeans a buffet was provided of 25 tables, each of six covers, besides the private table for his Highness and bis guests, all at the Viceroy's expense. The course was properly staked and corded, and kept by cavalry pickets and mounted police, and the whole passed off without a single quarrel or accident of ann kind, The first race was run in about seven minutes, the second in fifteen, and the third in six. At the conclusion of the day a purse of £lOO was run for by the Beshi-bazeuk cavalry, who dashed off in a dense clump, forming a very pretty and animating spectacle. Among the Viceroy's guests were Count De genfeld, Austrian Minister at war; Sir Charles Macarthy, governor of Ceylon; Count Bariatinski, Count. Nobili, and several of the Consuls General. It is to be hoped that the English will endeavour to retrieve their name at the next meeting to be held in May, at Alexandria, for it cannot be doubted that a good English horse will have no difficulty in beating Arabs at any distance. The horses which ran on the 6th were Blazeaway, Young Syntax, Tadcaster, and Engraver's Daughter. None passed the post.—letter from Alexandria. TRADE OF SWANSEA, LLANELLY, &C.—During the year 1863 the total number of vessels engaged in the trade of Swansea reached 5,513, with an aggregate registered tonnage of 618,966 tons, and the shipping rates received amounted to £16,149 ISs 100. As compared with the year 1862 the returns show a slight decrease in the number of ships trading with the port, and also in the ton nage; but there has been an increase of nearly .E4ot; in the shipping rates received, which is accounted for from the fact that a larger class of vessels has visited the port of late. Three thousand one hundred and ten vessels, with an [ag gregate registered tonnage of 253,183 tons, were engaged in the trade of Llanelly, Carmarthen, Ferryside, Pembrey, and Penclawdd during the year, against 3,486 vessels, with a registered tonnage of 262,122 tons in 1862. The depressed state of trade during the first six months of 1863 was to a great extent the cause of the failing off in the number of shtps and the tonnage. _ A bottle has been picked up on the coast of Nor way since the December gales, containing the following message :—" Scbooner Jessie, of Shields, seven days from Stockholm, and within sight of Scotland, April 1, 1863. The master washed overboard this morning ; two men and a boy remaining. Any one finding this is requested to communicate with the editor of any newspaper. 11 a.m. the boat getting ready. 11i a,m. the water gaining rapidly." A great number of large salmon are now spawn ing in all parts of the River Avon in Hampshire, even high up the river towards Salisbury, which is very unusual. BEE SWARMING EXTRAORDINAAY.—It is not always either agreeable or safe to have a swarm of bees almost inside your house; in such cases efforts to re move or even get rid of them may be deemed excusable. On Friday last a swarm which for years past has taken possession of the space between the drawing-room floor and the dining-room ceiling of the residence of Mr. Buchanan, at Poulton-cum-Seaconabe, Wallasey, came out in vast numbers from their winter quarters, and disported them selves in front of his house as if it had been mid summer. The annual movements of this swarm have long been a source of interest end curiosity in the neigh bourhood, On ono occasion the entrance to their cells was closed up during the winter; but in the following spring the bees made their way out into the light through the same aperture which had been barred against them ; and on another occasion, when it was thought they had been effectually destroyed by the action of burnt brimstone, great numbers of them were nevertheless untouched, and forced their way into the air in the following spring, and the swarm has never since been disturbed.—Liverpool Albion. FATHER MATHEW'S "CROSS CORN ET."—The greatest of all Father Mathew , 3 difficulties was, perhaps, his servant John. He was a wizened, unwhole some little "familiar," who hated children, hated poor people, and loved whisky. His love for Father Mathew was his one redeeming characteristic. "If you will go on in this way, John, I must really leave the house," generally recalled the tyrant to his senses. Requesting the servant to leave the house evidently never occarred to the master as an available alternative. Then, again, the prophet did not meet entirely with the "honour among his own people" that he hoped for. It must have been a sore moment when, after praising Brother John's healthy appearance as a living testimonial to temperance, an accidental visit to the dining room after he had retired to rest disclosed John busy with the "materials," and sadly disconcerted at the apparition. CLERICAL VACANCIES. —The rectory of Ham, in the county of Wilts, and diocese of Salisbury, worth between £4OO and £5OO per annum, and in the gift of the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Winchester, population 249, is vacant by the death of the Rev. David Morgan, who has held it for the last 20 years. The rectory of Biddestone with-Slaughterford, in the same county, and in the patron age of Winchester College, is likewise vacant by the decease of its incumbent, the Rev. A. Quicke, who had held it for a period of upwards of 30 years. It appears that the authorities at Frankfort have declined to grant a concession to draw the Great Eastern lottery in that city; and the ship will br-, clL;red for sale at Liverpool on the 17th of February, "without any reserve." At Drury Lane, "Henry IV." is to be produced with great splendour at Easter. Mr. Phelps is to play the part of Falstaff and Mr. Walter Montgomery that of Hotspur. M. MAZZINI AND TEE FRENCH PLO T.—It a p pears from inquiries made by the Swiss authorities that M. Mazzini left Lugano in the beginning of October last, and that the men who have been arrested on the charge of a conspiracy against the life of the Emperor Napoleon did not arrive at that place till the aonth of NoYeatber. SCENE IN A THEATRE. The Birmingham Gazette of yesterday has an account of an extraordinary scene which was wit nessed at the Adelphi Theatre in that town on Saturday night. It seems that, during the panto mime, the "supernumeraries" struck work, and the clown explained to the audience that none of them had been paid their wages. At last it came to a scene in, which the clown has to jump from a spring. ing board through a trap-door. The clown went to the side wings, and appealing to some one there, with outstretched hands, said, "I cannot break my neck. There's no one on the other aide." As may be supposed, the hisses, groans, whistling, and noises that ensued were almost deafening. After a time, Mr. Grattan, thB manager, came fcrward in front of the footlights, and entered into a statement to the eff,ct that the great expenses of the panto. mime did not allow him to pay all his debts. The clown denied many of Mr. Grattan's statements, and made various charges against that gentleman. At last the performance vent on, the clown, pantaloon, and sprites doing their tricks as far es possible without the aid of supernumeraries. The only per sons belonging to that fraternity who appeared on the stage was a solitary man dressed up as police. man, and one young girl, and they, in the orthodox style, were beaten and kissed by the clown. Still the greatest confusion and noise reigned amongst the " gods," and the respectable people in the stalls and pit had nearly all left the house. Sundry fights took place in the gallery, and pieces of the seats were thrown into the stalls. The columbine, clown, pantaloon, and sprites still appeared on the stage, and the band played music, not a note of which could be heard. The fights were ultimately quelled by the two policemen stationed in the gallery, and the "gods" having tired themselves a little order was restored. One of the sprites then came for ward, and saying, "This is for the rest of the com pany," went through a clever gymnastic perfor mance, which called forth hearty applause. Some one then shouted from the gallery to the sprites, " Got any money, Fred ?' Sprite—No. A Voice—Got any money, clown ? Clown—No. Pantaloon—l have 10s., that's all. The sprite then held ott a shilling, saying, "That's al." _ _ . One of the gentlemen, who had remained in the stalls, then threw a shilling upon the stage, which the sprite picked up. The shilling was followed by several others and by a shower of coppers, amongst which were sundry farthings from the "gods," some of which fell upon the stage, others in the orchestra, striking the musicians, who had remained at their posts during the whole disturbance. Several of the supernumeraries then rushed on the stage, and a regular scramble, to the great delight of the "gods," took place for the money. However the " gods" in sisted upon its being handed over to the sprite, who, amidst overwhelming applause, bowed his acknow ledgments. The curtain then rose upon "The Fairy Realms." Such a scene—a piece of scenery in one place, another in another, and a regular mass of confusion. A few "fairies" stood in the background ; some were in their places, others stood laughing. Frameworks of iron where fairies should have stood were empty, and amidst a flickering ray or two of blue and red coloured fire the curtain fell upon a scone of confusion such as we have never before wit nessed upon a stage. The lights were then lowered and the noises and groans in the gallery amongst the " gods " were greater than over. The writer was glad to beat a hasty retreat, and to find himself safe in the street, where there was a crowd of persons— men, women, and boys—surrounding the entrance to the stage-door, some of them swearing that they would not go until they had got their money. Their language was loud as to what they would do if they did not have their money. The " performance" was not concluded until a little before Sunday morning, and when the writer left the spot the noisy "amuse ment" seemed to be at its height. A Saxon lealen coffin has been found at Bishop stoke, Hants. It contained the skeleton of a young woman. A glass bottle and two drinking cups were found in the coffin. THREE HUNDRED ATLANTIC VOYAGES.—Copt. Edward G. Lott, of the steamer Persia, of the Cunard line, was honoured with a complimentary enter tainment on Monday evening at Delmonico's Fifth Avenue house, previous to his commencing his 300th passage across the ocean. A brilliant party was present, many of whom were prominent citizens who had crossed the ocean in company with Captain Lott. Mr. Henry A. Smythe presided over the festivities. Eloquent speeches were made after the removal of the cloth. Captain Lott responded happily to the first toast, " The Guest of the Evening." Samuel D. Babcock replied to" Union, in which there is peace and prosperity." The Rev. Dr. Prime and A. A. Low responded to "Religion and Commerce; may they travel hand in hand throughout the world." Ex-Go vernor Gardner, of Massachusetts, responded in gallant and delicate terms to " The Ladies," and hlr. H. A. Smythe made some eloquent and finished remarks for " Absent Friends," A beautiful silver testimonial was presented to Captain Lott, the chairman making the presentation speech in very felicitous speech.—New York, World, January 13. DOMESTIC TRAGEDY IN CUMBERLAND.—OR Fri- day last an inquest was held by Mr, Carrick, coroner for the eastern division of the county of Cumberland, on the body' of a young farmer named William Brown, who had shot himself dead on the preceding day. Deceased lived at the village of Oughterby, seven or eight miles west of Car lisle. Some months ago he married a Miss Hodgson, daugh ter of a neighbouring farmer. They appear to have lived in great happiness, and to have been a very loving couple. abaut three weeks ago the young wife was confined of a boy, which circumstance was destined to be the end of a happy married life. The mother died on Wednesday last, ' and the bereavement seems to have made her widowed partner frantic with grief. On Thursday he went to his mother's house and got a gun. Northing more was seen of him till five o'clock, when a neighbour found his:dead body on the road. It was lying face uppermost, and the clothes covering the chest were on fire. A gun was rest ing on his body, the muzzle pointing towards his face. One end of a string was tied to the trigger. and at the other was a loop a few inches in length, by means of which he had discharged ,the gnn with his foot. In his pocket were found a powder. flask and shot, together with a copy-book, containing the following pathetic lines, written in a trem bling hand :—" 1 hope the Lord will forgive me. Without my Maggie I cannot be. You need (not) mourn me, be cause I must go. You will all look after our darling boy. The little sum that would fall to my darling wife and mo will make him comfortable some time after. My wish is that we may be laid in one grave.

A WILFUL WOMAN .—A determined attempt to commit suicide by starvation has just been made at Gainsborough, by a young woman of 22, named Mary Beech living as domestic servant with the toll-collector at the bridge which crosses the Trent, and connects Lincolnsnire with Nottinghamshire. There is a covered passage on each s ide of the tollgate, with a door op enin g to the bridge and ano ther to the street, through which foot-passengers have to pass. One of these passages is not used She r trlayaffic down , and in it the girl voluntarily shut herself up. upon the cold flags, and for five days and four nigh t gs per re sisted in refusing food. At leng th the police ahe lieving officer for the district were called in. They found her very weak, so that it was apparent she would die if prompt measures were not speedily adopted to make her take food. The relieving officer, h o wever, could only offer the wont= an order for te workhouse, which sh refused to avail hersel f of, and h the police avowed them e selves unable to interfere unless she were turned into the s treet by her master —a pro ceeding the toll-collector did not feel justified in adopting. The medical officer of the district was next applied to with the view of ascertaining the state of mind of the girl, for in the event of her being pronounced deranged, the relieving officer would have the power to remove her by force, but, on an examination taking place, no evidence of insanity could be detected. Persuasion, expostulation, and threats were all tried to in duce her to take some support, or to allow herself to be taken to the workhouse, but to no purpose. At length she was told that unless she consented to one of the two courses pointed cut she would be turned into the street and conveyed to the police-station. This threat seemed to have some weight wit her, for she ultimately said "they might do as they liked with her." Without giving her time to change her mind a fly was obtained, and she was conveyed to the union. Sho was so mush exhausted, although naturally strong, that she had to be lifted in and out of the vehicle. On getting her to the workhouse she was put into a warm bath, and was ordered by the medical officer to have no thing stronger than gruel given her. It is said that she has a most ungovernable temper and a remarkably obstinate disposition. On a previous occasion, in one of her fits of anger, shd tried to strangle herself, and she has more than on‘e been in pribon for wilful damage, SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 o'CLot SLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. FRANKFORT, San. 25.—The Sleswig-Ho:lstein deputation leaves for Munich today, to thank the King of Bavaria for the support he has giv en to the cause of the Duchies, and to request lain to continue it for the future. A. popular meeting hats also taken place iu favour of Holstein. A precla • ration to the German people was drawn up and: voted, protesting against the attitude of Prtussia. and Austria, and making an appeal to the secondary and petty States of the Confederation. The Condition of the Free Negroes on to Mississippi. (From the _Yew York Trtbune) James E..Yeatman, president of the Western Sanitary, Commission, recently visited the various camps in which; the freedmen are gathered, from Cairo to Natchez, along; the Mississippi. Concerning affairs at M,mphis he writes as follows :—" Within the city of Memphis, not directly connected with any of the camps or with the coloured regi ments, there are some 3,000 freedmen and women, mostly freedmen, who are employed in various ways and at variou s rates of compensation. Those employed by Governmen t receive but 10 dols per month, while many could readil:f earn from 30 dols to 50 dols per month. Those thus eras ployed are outside of the military organisation. I saw a number of coloured men pressed into service (not military), to labour at the rate of 10 dols per month, one of whom peti tioned to be released, as he had a good situation at 30 dols per month. The firemen on the steamboat on which I was a passenger from St. Louis to Memphis were all coloured, and were receiving 45 dols per month. These men were afraidto go ashore at Memphis, for fear of being picked up and forced into Government employment at less than one-fourth their existing wages. Besides the fact that men are thus pressed into service, thousands have been employed for weeks and months who have never received anything but promises to pay. The negligence and failure to comply with obliga tions have greatly disheartened the poor slave, who comes forth at the cell of the President, and supposes himself a free man, and that by leaving his rebel master he is in flicting a blow on the enemy, ceasing to labour and to pro vide food for him and for the armies of the rebellion. Tares he was promised freedom, but how is it with him ? Ho is seized in the street, and ordered to go and help unload a steamboat, for which he will be paid, or sent to work in the trenches, or to labour for some quartermaster, or to chop wood for the Government. He labours for months, arid at last is only paid with promises, unless perchance it may be with kicks, cuffs, and curses. Under such treatment he feels that he has exchanged one master for many masters ; these continued abuses sadden and depress him, and ho sighs to return to his former home and master. He, at least, fed, clothed, and sheltered him. Some thing should b 3 done, and I doubt not will be done, to :correct these terrible abuses when the proper authorities are made to comprehend them." Good rich's Landing presents another and more favourable picture. It is the headquarters of the North-east department of Louisiana, under command of Brigadier General Hawkins, who has in command six regiments of coloured troops, all well officered and thoroughly drilled. One of these regiments is at Milliken's Bend, and two are at Vicksburg engaged in working the fortifications. He is justly proud of his troops, and has every confidence in them as soldiers. The Infirmary Farms are intended for women and children, and for men unable to do ordinary work. "Dr. Littlefield, who is the physician of the Infirmary Farms, is located at the Savage Place, where he has esta blished a Freedmen's Hospital. He reports he has to fur nish medicines and attendance to many of those on leased plantations, especially to those on the places leased by ono man who had leased five plantations, whose negroes are greatly neglected and poorly provided for. The testimony of quite a number of persons fully corroborated this statement. One of the freedmen, Henson Jackson, working at Wilton's plantation, said that they get corn wherever they can find it on abandoned plantations ; that they frequently have to go as far as Tensaa Bayon, that he has been without bread for days, that four pounds of meat per week is all that is allowed him, that he pays for his flour, and has worked since April without receiving any pay or clothing whatever, that he only receives tickets for actual days work, to be paid when the crop is sold. Others from the same farm testi fied to the same thing, and labourers from other planta tions gave similar testimony. None received molasses, rice or beans, and hominy only when they chose to make it themselves. " The poor negroes are everywhere greatly depressed at their condition. They all testify that if they were only paid their wages as they earn them, so that they could purchase clothing, and were furnished with the pro visions premised, they could stand it ; but to work and get poorly paid, poorly fed, and not doctored when sick, is more than they can endure. They do not realise that they are free men. They say that they are told they are, but then they are taken and hired out to men who treat them, so far as providing for them is concerned, far worse than their "secesh" masters did. Beside this they feel that their pay or hire is lower now than it was when " the secesh" used to hire them. This is true. At Milliken's Bend are 350 freedmen, mostly soldiers' families. At Omega, two miles above, about 200 are engaged in cutting wood at 50c. per cord and rations. At Van Buren Hospital are 419 persons, and about 250 scholars, old and young. At Paw-Paw Island, a few miles below, are about 1,550 persons in desti tute condition. At Young's Point, D. L. Jones, of the 9th Louisiana Regiment, African descent, is in charge of the camp. There are now some 2,100 in this camp, in miser able huts, tents, and hovels. There appears to be more squalid misery and destitution here than in any place I have visited. The sickness and deaths were most frightful. Dur ing the summer from 30 to 50 died in a day, and some days as many as 75, during the latter part of June, July, and August. Most of the medicines received were from the Western and United States Sanitary Commissions. Al De Soto, immediately opposite Vicksburg, there are about 275 old men, women, and children, to whom the Government furnishes rations, but from some cause or other none had been received for more than two weeks preceding my visit, and great destitution and dissatisfaction existed. A. few were earning a little more money by washing for the soldiers. Their cabins are poor. Below De Soto there is a large wood yard, carried on by Mr. Sweeney, who pays his hands promptly, who are all well satisfied. They say that if they can only get work and get paid for it, they will be content and happy. This was the first and only employer met with by me who had paid his labourers promptly and well. At Natchez is a camp of 2,100 freed men, all in cabins, which are without proper light and ventilation, overcrowded, and most prolific sources of 1 disease; 75 had died in one day. "I was informed that some had returned to their masters on account of suffer ing. Thousands mast die for want of medicines and me. dical attendance this winter. There are already teachers, missionaries, and chaplains enough in the field; without physicians there will soon be no scholars for the teacher to teach, or souls for the missionary to save. This camp had numbered 4,000 at one time ; now it is reduced to 2,100. The same, I doubt not, can be said of other camps. Who ever will ride along the levee from Milliken's Bend to De Soto, as I did, and see the numerous graves along the way, for the distance of 25 miles, cannot doubt it. The whole number of freed people gathered in camps and towns along the Mississippi is about 25,000. There are about 15,003 coloured troops not included in this estimate. SHIPPING —This Day.

WIFE MURDER IN LIVERPOOL.—Oa Satarday night, soon after 9 o'clock, information wat' con veyed to the police-station at Rose-hill that a man named Samuel Johnson, who resided in a wretched house in . Court No. 3, Cazeneau-street, had killed his wife. When the police officers reached the place the woman was dead, hav ing expired only a few minutes before, Johnson, tate per petrator of the deed, having made his escape. The 'body of the unhappy woman was all covered with wounds mud con tusions, apparently caused by kicks, or blows fro: i some blunt instrument. It appears that the husband, w.lho is a nimble mason, and, as well es his wife, was of very intem perate habits, had been drinking a good deal iu the. course of the afternoon and evening, and that he was drunk. The wife, it appears, knowing that her husband had a consider able portion of his wages in his pocket, wished hina to give her the money. This he refused to do, and soon after fell asleep. While he slept she abstracted the money from him and left the house with it, going, it is said, to a public house in the neighbourhood. On her return the husband awoke, and missing his money demanded it back from her. She refused, and this led to a quarrel, in which Johnson struck his wife and knocked her down. lie then kicked her with savage violence all over the body, inflicting such injuries as rendered her insensible, and he th t e t n on ra o n f away. The noise he had made attracted the Ott, : found some of the neighbours, who on going into the e a d ble to speak the poor woman lying on the floor. immediately.
